Sharp Objects is gritty and disturbing, and will make you feel uncomfortable. The protagonist is plagued by depressive thoughts, often turning to alcohol for relief. The words carved into her skin from her cutting hum alive during her interactions with other characters. Scenes depicting a slaughterhouse, scandalous sex, and drug abuse are scattered throughout. Fast-paced, this book digs deep into Camille’s family dysfunction and the Wind Gap’s small town grim reality. Readers who enjoy psychological thrillers with extremely flawed narrators may find this novel appealing.
